Ok I'm finished. My fingers are burnt, my knuckles cut to hell, but it's complete. Is it perfect? No, the clear housings had imperfections from highway miles but I can live with it.
What I would have done differently...
Painted the projectors black. You can kind of see the metal of the rear of the projectors when you get up close. I was somewhat let down but it's ok.
So you want to do this mod too? Here is what you need to know, clearing out the permaseal is the hardest part. It will take you a long long time. You want the channel as clean as you can get so you can get the butyl in. One box of butyl is more than enough for both headlights. You will need AMP extenders. It's just too tight with the mini H1 and retrofit source harness. You will need a small bolt and nut to mount the relays to the crash beam, there is already an empty hole so don't sweat it.
For the high beams check polarity and crimp the high beam flippers directly to the high beam wires inside the headlight. I know it's hard to just cut the wires but it has to be done. You can attach the high beam bulb to the clipped connector and put it back into the reflector to fill the hole if you desire. Besides that it's pretty straight forward. Make sure you get horizontal rotation correct before baking them back together and you should be fine.
Now for some pictures, I know the car is dirty as hell and it's like 100% humidity in Texas so that's why they aren't the best pictures.
No photos of the lights on because it made the photo look like crap. I'll get better night photos tonight maybe.
